I've been making this recipe for over 10 years now. It's now part of our Christmas meal tradition.

Back for my annual refresher, this is absolutely a hit every year

Here for my yearly thanksgiving check-in! I’ve been assigned on prime rib duty ever since finding this recipe. Cheers to my 3 yr anniversary 😂🥩

Followed this recipe to the T. I used a boneless 7lb prime rib from Costco and it came out beautifully for Thanksgiving. The center was a gorgeous pink and it was so juicy. Thanks Chef John for helping me prepare and cook my first prime rib. It was a hit. For the garlic herb butter, I found this recipe and used it: 1 cup butter, softened 7 cloves garlic, minced 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped 2 tablespoons salt 1 tablespoon pepper

Ok, so we made a 5.25 pound prime rib using this method, and it was UNREAL. First time ever making a prime rib, and it was literally the best we’ve ever had. And it was EASY. Only thing we changed was our herb butter, due to availability; we did pressed garlic, a whole head of roasted garlic, smoked paprika, Rosemary, thyme, onion powder, and fennel (plus a ton of salt and pepper on the outside), and it turned out perfect. About to carve up some leftovers for sandwiches right now! Thank you, Chef John!!!

I used your recipe for Christmas and it was outstanding! My husband has told everyone he sees about our prime rib! We both have the recipe saved in several locations and can hardly wait for the Easter celebration! You can be sure we won’t loose the recipe! Thank you so much!

This recipe couldn’t be easier. We use it every Christmas. Perfect every time.

Made my first prime rib last night followed your instructions to a t, and it came out so amazing literally melted like butter in the mouth, just pure perfection. I was really impressed thank you!

Is anyone else getting ready to make their annual Chef John Prime Rib?

My entire family eats their meat well done So last Christmas I cooked them MEATLOAF and I ate medium rare prime rib Cooked just like this

By far the best and easiest. Hard to mess up:) Absolutely Delicious. I stop by every holiday to brush up and it’s ALWAYS a Hit!

We have literally used this video for the last 5 years- today I remembered to like comment and subscribe. It makes a heavenly prime rib. We love to get a larger roast and make French dips the next day. Amazing

For all those asking, as I did myself, whether this works on a large roast, I'm happy to report it does. I cooked a 13.99 pound roast this Christmas following the timing directions to the letter. I had actually convinced myself that I would cut it in two and cook them separately (I have a double oven), but in the end I just had to know, so I left it whole. I had left it out for nearly 9 hours, so it was not cold at all. 70 mins at 500 seemed scary but I stuck with it and then left it in the turned-off oven for an excruciating 2 hours. Temp of the middle was 131 and it was a delicious pink. When I pulled it out and cut it up it was perfect. Lots of oohs and ahhs with this one. I will stick with this recipe every time. The one thing I will do is add more seasoning/spice. I felt like I added a lot with the 3 sticks of butter (it took a lot to cover all 14 pounds) but could have used more.

i saw this originally about 8 years ago. I have cooked a prime rib every holiday since using this method. Worked great every time

I've been using this recipe since 2017 and always refresh my memory by looking up this video at EVERY holiday. I can never remember that it's a 500 degree oven! I did find doing a huge roast was a fail one year - - overcooked on the ends, a few med rare inches, so I've started cutting my roasts in half (5 lbs each) and use the math for just one roast's' weight (5x5) and they are always boneless, comes out perfect!

Absolutely the best ! I used this style of cooking prime rib 5 years in a row and it works everytime . Thank you .

I've followed this recipe every Christmas for the last 5 years.

I have done this method 2x and both time it has turned out amazing. It’s very scary to cook a very expensive piece of meat but let me tell you this is a fool proof way. AMAZING!!!

Tried this recipe last night and must say it has to be one of the best, easiest, and fun recipes to make. The method is simply genius, and the results greatly exceeded my expectations. As a beef aficionado who grew up in top cattle-producing Argentina, I say "Bravo Chef John". And thank you!

OMG!! We made it tonight and it was perfect!! We added an extra minute to our 8 lb. So instead of starting the timer at 1 min we did it at 2 min. We will forever use Chef John's method. A big big big thank you!!!

Made this & it turned out perfect! Did it with bone in & boneless. I even cooked 2 of them in the oven at the same time & it still turned out great. This is now my to go recipe for Prime Ribs! ❤️

I'm back for my annual refresher. Hands down a recipe favorite in the household at Christmas

Today I am doing a 8.34 pound prime rib. I have use this method many times and it comes out perfect every single time thank you thank you thank you

Another Christmas, another view of this video to make sure I don’t mess up Christmas dinner! Thank you for this- it works perfectly

I found you while trying to figure out how to cook a prime rib I was able to snag on sale. It was great. Everybody loved it, he gets made every Easter. It has become a staple in my household.

I have followed these directions to a T. I'll qualify this by saying I am a friend of the prime rib. If I had two days to live and I could only choose two dinners, they'd be a rib eye steak and prime rib with au jus and horseradish. I followed these directions exactly, and this method made the best prime rib I have EVER tasted. Better than any restaurant. It was RIDICULOUS! Dude's a genius.

I've done this 4 times, tonight will make my 5th. My 85yo stepfather is old school and wants everything well done, no pink or blood. He loves it! Great job and love your humor to help everyone relax when cooking anything.

I gave it a try this year and omg it’s the best recipe! If you’re afraid like me don’t be, follow directions throughly and you will have the juiciest and delicious prime rib ever! Very important like he said room temperature, I let sit mine for about 8 hours and my family loved it! Thank you so much for this recipe

Hello, I had never cooked a prime rib roast before. My dad bought us a prime rib roast for the family since we had such a horrible dinner from sharis restaurant for thanksgiving day. He asked me if I wanted to cook it. I said absolutely, I love to cook. So I looked up on you tube how to do this and after several other videos where they just yap on and on with nothing do with cooking food, I found you. I laughed so hard when you said, "in fact don't even look at the oven." Because its so difficult to not open the oven to check it. I thank you for helping me make the absolutely perfect prime rib roast. I cut the bones off exactly like you showed us. Thank you so very much. I have one happy family with full little belly's because you showed me the way. :)

I have to admit I was looking thru the glass of my oven the entire time. I do not have the $$ to waste on a new recipe, especially for Christmas dinner. This was a Perfect Prime Rib. I am so very thankful Chef John's recipe was the you tube I selected. Chef "you rock". I have never posted before, but I have to let you know this is the best "homemade" Prime Rib I have ever had. No more eating out for me! Thank you. To those in doubt, don't be. remember 'ROOM TEMP IS THE KEY" Happy Holidays to all!

I use this every year for our Christmas prime rib dinner, absolutely perfect! I've also used this method on a bottom round roast and it turned out amazing!

Used this method for Christmas prime rib dinner! The correction of allowing the roast to be room temperature was key!! Came out perfectly! Thank you so very much! Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to all!!

Ok let me start by saying I am a chef instructor. This recipe gets an A+ to me. This is the easiest recipe for Prime Rib that I have ever done. This will be my go to recipe for now on. I did a 9 pound roast the first time. It came out absolutely perfect. I came home and called one of my chef friends and told them how amazed I was. I was with that friend for Christmas and they surprised me with a Prime Rib and said prove it. We did a 5 pound roast this time. I worked again and I blew their minds. Thank you Chef. Game changer for me when It comes to prime Rib.

This recipe works out beautifully!!! 2nd year I’ve made it and it was amazing! Chef John you are amazing!❤️

We’re making this again this Christmas because last year it was perfect even though it was my first time making prime rib. It really makes roasting $$$ meat amazing and so easy. Blessings to everyone this Christmas!🎄 😇 🎄🌟🧸🍷

Thanksgiving 2023 refresher, who else is with me!!!!

I listen to this every year as a refresher, thank you Chef John!

Thank you John, this way of cooking was so easy and our prime rib turn out perfect. I have always been afraid to make a prime rib and now it will always be perfect!

We are doing this again tonight for New Years Eve. This method has been a godsend as I cannot tell you how much anxiety I have had over the years cooking rib roasts and 1 of 2 things usually happened it was underdone or overcooked but not with this method it is perfect every time!

I will always come back to this recipe. None will deafest this one. Chef John if you are out there I hope you know your fans love you!

I would just add some thick cut onions and potatoes to the bottom of the pan. All that butter and meat juices turns them to GOLD!

I watched quite a few videos on prime rib and decided to try this one - this is the one to do all the time! I was skeptical about the 2 hour cut off but the temperature rose up to 130 at right around the correct time - before we hit the 2 hour mark it went to 132 but it was a perfect medium rare. This is the one I will be using from now on - Thank You!

I just made my first prime rib for my family. I followed your directions to a “T”, no deviations. It was perfect! Topped off with my homemade horseradish! Thanks for this simple but great recipe.

I tried this for the first this evening Christmas evening and it turned out FABULOUS! I would of never have tried this if I didn't see this video! So Thank you very much for this delicious RECIPE and DIRECTION!

Done this the last 6 years, mine is in fridge now and will be thawed out for Friday meal. Best recipe ever!

An "updated version" from NINE years ago! I has no idea that this channel exists from so longo ago and that the format and quality remains so consistent.

My husband made his FIRST prime rib. It was absolutely incredible, juicy, and perfectly cooked to medium. Thank you for taking out the mystery out cooking most amazing and restaurant worthy dish!

This is my third time using this recipe, I love it, and so does my family! It comes out perfect every time! Thank you!!!

I made this for the Holiday last year when my husband's parents were in town. They were mighty impressed, and I will be serving this again for Christmas! Thanks Chef John!

I’ve toured so many of your recipes. This one was amazing like the others. Thank you.

This is my very first time attempting to roast a Prime Rib. Using Chef John's Method X for the first time was so encouraging as it came out just perfect, Thank Chef John...

We have been following this recipe many years! Perfect every single time!

I recently bought a vollrath convection oven and wanted to put it to the test.. Your technique is hands down the best I've ever had. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

When you said don't look at the oven I covered my eyes.

I am doing this prime rib again because it was so good and so worth it. This time we also put panko crumbs on the ends for that additional crunch. We also blended in some fresh minced garlic with the thyme and rosemary. I just also shared this with a woman I know making her 1st prime rib for her grandmother this holiday season.

This has to be the best ribeye roast I’ve ever prepared… our dinner guests went back for another large serving! Thank you Chef John!!! Also… we are big fans of Chef John’s Cuban sandwich recipe… a real crowd pleaser!

I was buying a Prime, prime rib roast at Costco and when I was in line checking out the checker at the register said, “...that’s a nice roast, you should cook it chef John’s way, it’s the best.” Several people in line enthusiastically agreed. We had the gleeful camaraderie of being chef John fans. I have been preparing the roast chef John’s way for many years now and it comes out excellent every time!

Wow such a straight forward recipe....awesome when you know what you're doing. Thanks for sharing the math & technique. 👍👍

I love this recipe! I’ve been using it for 10 years. I’ve switched to cold smoking the Prime Rib for an hour before using this method. Turns out perfect every time!❤

Chef John is AMAZING and so much help to us all who love to cook. Thank you!

I have used this recipe for years and it works every time. Room temp meat is a MUST!!! I use Montreal steak seasoning and literally crust it with the seasoning. However 5 min per pound for rare 5.5 min medium rare and 6min per pound for done. Love love love it. 2 hours in the oven with oven turned off is a must. Do not open the door at all. Duct tape it so no one opens it either!!!!

Thank you for this recipe. I have tried this twice and the rib comes out perfect!!! Best part is you know exactly when the rib will be done to better plan your dinner. This is a no-brainer recipe. Grazie e'mille!

My yearly prime rib video with Chef John! Merry Christmas John! Thanks for making our dinner special. It’a perfect every time. If my grandmother was still alive, I’d slap her. ❤

This method works! I’ve used this 4 times over the last 3 years. Thank Food Wishes for this cooking method.

The only way I've made it for years! Perfection! Having it again tonight 😋

I’m making this again for tomorrow’s Xmas dinner. It works EVERY time! It’s awesome 👏!!

I love you man. This recipe worked PERFECTLY. Best prime rib I’ve ever had today to celebrate the new year.

I have used this prime rib method for a few years now and this method never fails. Thank you Chef John!!

Watched and used this every Christmas.....awesome every time

I cook all my steaks like this now....not the timing part, just the butter slather method....absolutely fantastic and the meat is never oily or greasy. The bone in ribeye was a HUGE hit and I did use your timing method for that...thanks for all your great recipes and vids. By the way, I usually cook my regular steaks in a convection oven, they come out great. If using a meat thermometer, take them out at 120 degrees or so for mediium rare after a rest. The bone in ribeye you could pull at 125 probably since it does not need resting time but no longer .. 130 degrees in NOT medium rare.

I’m watching this 4 years later. I’m doing prime rib for Easter. I remember how well this worked. Glad this video is still up.

My husband has used this method a dozen times. It is by far THE BEST recipe ever. Surprising that it works! I couldn’t believe such a short cooking time, don’t look at the oven and bam! The best prime. . Ever. 😀 Thank you.

Cooked my first prime rib ever using this method. It came out perfect and was so easy!

I was watching this with my dog sitting in the back ground and he barked when he saw the finished product after you cut it. Impressive!

I watch this video every year on the same day! Merry Christmas!!

WOW! Add me to the list of people who are blown away. I cooked this cut of meat for the first time in my life. I looked at a great many videos and recipes and ran with this one. Very simple and very very unique. It came out perfectly! Just like you said! One of the tastiest things I've ever cooked! Thank you!!!

My daughter and I tried this recipe out for the first with family and friends for Christmas Eve Dinner 2018. Dinner was at 7:00pm and I writing these comment at the request of my entire dinner party at 10:39 pm. Our bellies are full of Prime Rib, potatoes, mushrooms and holiday cheer, and everyone can not believe it actually worked as well as it did. The pound to 5 minute calculations were on point. I must say it took DISCIPLINE and I mean DISCIPLINE not to open that oven door. My will power was defined to a higher level. I am a true believer in the PROCESS that was required to achieve such a scrumptious melt in your mouth Prime Rib roast. If you are going to invest your monies into purchasing the Prime Rib Roast, you then must invest in the time to do it correctly. Use all the kosher salt, place untouched roast in the frig overnight, use good butter, fresh herb when available & dried herbs when needed, let it sit at least the 6 hours at room temperature, use your math skills for the correct allotted cooking time, and most importantly... DO NOT OPEN THAT OVEN FOR 2 HOURS- ( I HAD TO PLACE A SIGN ON THE OVEN AND PLACE GUEST ON OVEN WATCH DUTY) However if you do that I can assure you its worth every penny. Going back to my party, however I can not go back to leftovers my entire 17.23lb roast was eaten and I am sure Santa will leave me something great under my tree. ENJOY AND DO NOT OPEN THE OVEN Vp - Hmd Ct

Tried this last night and it turned out perfectly. No changes necessary!

Chef John, you’re the GOAT, cooked this Roast Beef recipe last night and it came out perfectly! Only had a 3lbs with no bones, but used the same method! Paired it with your two-time baked potatoes and also your Beef Jus. You made me the hero of my two young boys last night! Thank you for your amazing recipes and explanations (including your wonderful humor!)

Did this method 3yrs in a row with large cuts 2 15lb and this year 16.29lb! Came out great again! Your ends will be well done no getting around that, but the middle comes out perfect. Make sure you use a thermometer, after I shut the oven off it only had to rest for about hr and 15 minutes before hitting 120 degrees!

This method works bone-in or without bones. It's worked perfectly every time I've done it. Nice sear, then medium rare meat. Chef John is a treasure.

Chef John your recipes are without a doubt spot on every time, I have always been absolutely impressed with the way each one I have tried have turned out. And I very much appreciate the professional style in which you edit your videos. You keep them informative and to the point.Please keep the videos coming and happy Easter

We’ve made Prime Rib using this method and it comes out amazing every time!!! Thanks John!

Ever since I first tried this recipe as Method X, YEARS ago, I have never made it any other way! Winner every single time

Great recipe! I use this one every year for our annual New Years Prime Rib dinner! Great job!

Good Lord this is the most delicious-looking meal I've ever seen in my life and I've probably watched this video at least 20 times. I can't be the only one. Happy New Year guys and Chef John! :D

Hello Chef John, my prime rib was done to perfection!!!!!! Thanks so much. My parents, who go out to eat just to have prime rib, were incredibly impressed. Thanks again.

Chef John. Since before I was born my mother sought out the perfect way to prepare a traditional Christmas Dinner for the five of us plus Dad. We are talking about a quest that goes back to 1955 when she and my father married. I'm said to say that she is no longer with us but my 94 year-old and healthy father still is and we have grown to 9 thanks to spouses. I followed this recipe plus the mash potato recipe and the au jus recipe. I"m not considered the best cook in the family but this Christmas, thanks to your methods, as one brother said, "You hit this way out of the ball park, Barry". Very high praise from our best grill man. My father showed me the price of the 16 pound standing rib roast and I think the value of the dinner tripled in that figure as we sat down to a perfect, and I mean perfect roast. Thank you for sharing your talent and for making at least one family the most sated they have ever been in 62 years.

I just did this for a 4 pound prime rib. I used 6 minutes per pound aiming for medium, and after the allotted time I turned off the oven and left in there for two hours. It came out 👌🏾for someone who doesn’t like Med-rare. My wife never likes things to be too pink, so I put hers back in for three minutes at 500°. Be careful, as this could potentially overcook it! But that may work for someone who needs it Med-well. And it doesn’t actually need THAT much salt. Chef John is the guy to listen to when it comes to cooking.

I've used this recipe 2 Christmases in a row. Easy peasy perfect both times.

I have been doing this recipe for the past 3 years and every time everyone loves it amen!

every year i come back chef john. so ready for my christmas prime rib dinner! ❤️❤️

here for a refresher as well best Christmas meal ever

This will be the third year I have used this method. It turns out so PERFECT!!!! I have shared this with friends and coworkers and they absolutely love it.

Christmas 2022 and we're coming back to this spectacular easy recepie! Thank you, and we'll see you in 2023!

I come back to this recipe every year, outstanding!

"Don't even look at the oven" Muchas Gracias! The Prime Rib was excellent! Pura Vida Chef John!!

If you're using Metric, multiple the weight of your meat (in Kilogram) by 11 and cook (THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT) in 260 degrees Celsius. I did the math and it checks out.

I'm cooking my fifth prime rib by this recipe right now. 36 minutes to go on the 'let sit in the oven and don't open the door, don't even look at the oven' part. Every one of the prime ribs I've made using this recipe came out *perfect*. Thank you again.

Yep, the PERFECT method for PERFECT prime rib! Been doing it like this for years now...the only thing different that I've done is to salt the roast and put it in the fridge for 24 hours uncovered, then bring to room temp and roast this way. It is seasoned all the way through to the bone, and perfectly pink. I will definitely be adding butter and herbs from now on! Thanks Chef John!
